With the pandemic scourge altering the world order in more ways than one, firms have to shift their focus to healthcare as well and think of adopting different strategies to safeguard their employees and customers. In fact, it will become a core requirement to do business this year. Turning crisis into an advantage, O3 Care company is all set to improve people’s quality of life by providing affordable 21st-century green health solutions.
The cleaning business segment is a treasure trove of opportunities and the global contract cleaning services market size is poised to grow by $90.01 billion during 2020-2024, progressing at a CAGR of almost 5% throughout the predicted period, as per the latest report of global market research company Technavio.
One of the most critical contract cleaning services market trends will be the adoption of green cleaning products and it will spur market growth.

O3 Care’s brand SterilettoTM is constantly innovating to protect the environment and deliver eco-friendly sanitising devices for firms as well as families.

The Chinese branch company was opened on December 29 last year in a ceremony attended by dignitaries from the industry, government, media and the academic world. CEO Igor Diadyk gave the opening address, explaining the unique market positioning of the firm and the $3,5-billion target market. Then it was the turn of CTO Gianluca Giorgi, who has over three decades of experience in automation and creating various medical devices, to explain the technology part and highlight the idea of using Ozone O3 for sanitising.
